Thank you!
Thank you for the Talk page info at Draft:Christianization of the Roman Empire as diffusion of innovation. However did you even find it? You seem way more experienced and knowledgeable than I, and if you don't mind helping out a bit more, I have some other questions. Diffusion of innovation is a section title, and when I went to work on the draft it came up with the full title and (section) next to it. Then the next time, it didn't. I don't understand, and I am wondering if I need to change the title, and how to do that. Also, this is a total rewrite of another article Christianization of the Roman Empire. It got lots of objections, and I am wondering about changing its title to represent that it is a historiographical view. This draft is a rewrite of CRE from this other perspective, should CRE just be deleted instead? I would love it if you wanted to participate here! Input from an editor of your quality would be valued and appreciated! Thanx again. Jenhawk777 (talk) 17:53, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * If you remember, I already made changes to the original article a few months ago. I am just interested in the topic. You can rename the draft through simply pressing the move button and adding a new title. Dimadick (talk) 18:02, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Did I offend you in some way? If I did I am genuinely sorry. I do tend to have strong opinions on this subject. I try to always keep it civil, and if I failed to do that, please forgive me. Others have strong feelings as well and have certainly frustrated me by repeatedly voicing opinion rather than sources, but I'm guessing that probably wasn't you. It's possible my frustration spread to those who didn't deserve it, so if it did, I am heartily sorry. I probably deserve it, but please don't hold whatever I did or said against me anyway. Jenhawk777 (talk) 02:53, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * No I was not expressing anger, and you are unusually courteous for a Wikipedian. I was just explaining that the draft can be easily renamed. I will see what I can do about copyediting. Dimadick (talk) 04:57, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you - I think! Not too unusual I hope. Let it reflect that you are worth the effort rather than that I have some unusual virtue - I assume you think it's a virtue!  Nevermind!  I am losing ground here... Thank you for the help given so far and any future assistance you may feel led to provide. I do know that collaboration always produces a better result.Jenhawk777 (talk) 05:42, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Late Neolithic
Hi Dimadick. Thanks for creating Category:Late Neolithic. I think we might need to separate the "Late Neolithic" in SW Asia from the "Late Neolithic" of Europe though, since these are unrelated entities separated by a few thousand years. And more broadly the subdivisions of the Neolithic are region-specific (e.g. the Pre-Pottery Neolithic exists only in SW Asia; the Eneolithic exists only in Central and Eastern Europe) so if we're going to subcategorise Category:Neolithic by period there should be some indication of the geographical scope of each category. I probably created the possibility for confusion when I moved Pottery Neolithic (about the SW Asian period) to Late Neolithic based on it being the more common name, not considering that it is also much more generic. Any ideas on how to proceed? –&#8239;Joe (talk) 09:35, 21 May 2022 (UTC)


 * For the time being, I am simply locating the articles that have texts concerning the Late Neolithic/Pottery Neolithic. The geographic scope can be covered in subcategories, provided that there is some kind of supporting text for them. Dimadick (talk) 09:38, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
 * But this is creating a category that mixes totally unrelated articles like Dagenham idol (an artefact from England from c. 2250 BCE), Çayönü (a site in Turkey abandoned by c. 6800 BCE), and Yueshi culture (a culture in China dated to the 2nd millennium BCE). Even if we had subcategories for the regional periods, they shouldn't be categorised under Category:Late Neolithic, because they don't share a defining characteristic, just an overlap in terminology. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 09:56, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
 * As with the Neolithic itself, it covers a phase in the technological/cultural development of various regions. Not a direct lineage between cultures, nor a terminology limited to a single region. Most of these articles had not even been categorized as Neolithic sites or artifacts, not even marked as archaeological locations. Dimadick (talk) 10:01, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It really doesn't, but okay, you do you. Any categorisation is better than no categorisation, I suppose. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 10:21, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

I think I owe you an apology
I just reread your comment on the talk page of Christianization of the Roman Empire as diffusion of innovation and I think I may have misunderstood. I thought your comment was to me and now I think it wasn't. My response comes across as offensive - and pretty stupid... So, I am a little crazy this year, and I just wanted to apologize that some of it ended up on you. I am sorry. I hope you can forgive me. Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:09, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I found your answer strange, but not offensive. Some people give me a hard time on Wikipedia, but an off-hand comment is not particularly troubling. Dimadick (talk) 19:12, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It was strange! I thought you were talking to me, but you weren't, were you? You were asking him for something constructive and actually relevant. I see that now. I didn't see that at first because I am so thin skinned these days that I am interpreting everything as an attack. I am walking around with my skin turned inside out and all my nerves exposed because my mother died and my sister stole from me, and I am hurt and angry, and it's made me a little crazy. Thank you for not getting offended. People give me a hard time on WP too - as you can see from the comment that we both responded to. These two articles - CRE and CRE as diffusion - have really been subject to a hard time. In the end, though, it has improved both articles, and that's something that makes me feel better in spite of everything else. So thank you again. I hope to see you around. Jenhawk777 (talk) 03:15, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * "and my sister stole from me" This reminds me of my father. During quarrels over their inheritance, his sister stole a large sum from him and his brother tried to strangulate him. Dimadick (talk) 06:35, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * OMG!! This is actually the second time she has done something like this to me, and I know of things even worse that she has done to others. She wiped out her first husband's bank accounts when she skipped town with her boyfriend. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I haven't spoken to her since, and I won't. She's out of my life for good this time. I knew that was who she used to be, but I actually thought she had changed - gotten a decent job and a good relationship and straightened up - I hoped. But there was no way for me to prevent this. Now I've lost both my sister and my mother. Thank you for understanding. It's proving to be a difficult year.Jenhawk777 (talk) 17:25, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Easy to understand. My mother and the great-uncle who mostly raised me both died in 2016. It left me quite depressed, even when not taking into account paperwork over who was going to inherit their residences and an uncle who disputer the terms of the wills. Families can become nasty dens of vipers when money is at stake. Dimadick (talk) 18:20, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * And that's so backwards and short sighted isn't it? People have innate value, everything else has derived value. Take all the money out of the world, and people will still find a way to trade and value their work and cooperate. Take all the people out of the world and money is worthless; animals can't eat it, it can't reproduce on its own, all it can do by itself is sit and rot. Money only has power because we give it power, and it only has the power we decide it has. My sister sacrificed me for money. Those are her values, that's her character, that's what valuing money first has made her, when the real truth is that people are what matter most. People make history, make art, make beauty and goodness and love. People build and create. People do all of that and more because they can, because people have the power, and people have the value and the will and the ability to decide for themselves who they want to be. Difficulties and troubles don't turn us into something we're not, they just have a way of revealing that true character, that's all. It's who my sister is and always has been. It makes me sad, but it's hers to do with as she will. I just can't let it change me. Friends help with that. If it's okay with you, I am going to count you as a friend from now on. Kind and understanding hearts don't show up on WP all that often if you know what I mean! I'm glad to have met you. Jenhawk777 (talk) 04:07, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * "People have innate value, everything else has derived value." Almost everything on this planet has the value we assign to it. What seems essential to a certain culture or region may be seen as trivial or worthless to another one. But humans are social animals, and we need other humans to properly function or to survive. That the people we meet may not be trustworthy does not mean that our need for others ever ceases. Thanks by the way, for chatting with me. I haven't had much opportunity to do that for the last couple of months. Dimadick (talk) 05:45, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * You are so right, and therein lies the rub, as they say. I have enjoyed chatting with you, and thank you as well. I've been getting yelled at a lot in the last two months, but no real chatting for me either, so yes, this has been good. I appreciate that you have taken the time to respond. I don't get to have many philosophical discussions especially. I do not understand why others find it boring... It seems we are like-minded in many ways. That's especially nice to find. I'm sure it proves you are brilliant. Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:30, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Coagula & the Women's WikiProject
After you replaced WikiProject Women, I had a double-check, and my apologies are due. I've thought that WikiProject Women was only concerned with non-fictional women, i.e. biographies and the like. I was wrong, and I'm quite sorry for having wongly removed it in the first place. IAW that project's scale, I've classified the article at "C" (and replaced the otherwise-harmless spacing in the WPBS, but which helps with visual distinction between the shell and its contained templates). —  Fourthords  &#124; =Λ= &#124; 13:56, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Your opinion on a possible plan for Template:C21 year in topic
Hello Dimadick! First off, thank you very much for adding many more countries who have a 'year in television' article series to the Template:C21 year in topic. One thing I have noticed though is that the template appears to be getting pretty long with the addition of the new countries, and the fact that many of the countries which are now on there such as Belgium, Brazil, Croatia, and Denmark do not have a very large article series, and many of their pages have no citations. This has thus put more red links on the template for many of the years, and with the template being highly viewed, I was trying to think of a way to fix this.

I'm thinking besides listing the all countries which have their own year in television series in parentheses beside the link to 2022 in television, I could make a template for them instead which would change by year, acting similarly to something like [ Year in Europe|2022 ]. The template's use would theoretically be on every 'year in television' page. I would absolutely be willing to put in the work to make something like this happen, making the template and making sure it is placed where it is needed. It would be a big project, but it is something I have been brainstorming about for awhile, and I think it could look good. Do you have an opinion on this? I felt it would only be right to ask you because 1. you added many of the countries making me aware that the year in television series was larger than I previously thought, and 2. because you have been on Wikipedia longer than me and have more experience. So what is your opinion on this? Is there anything that needs be changed or clarified first? I would be happy to know. Thanks!  Johnson 524  (Talk!) 16:30, 25 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I realized a couple of years ago that we have an ever-increasing number of "years in television" lists which are difficult to find, and have few articles linking to them. I have been periodically adding them to the year templates just to avoid their near-orphan status. If you can find a better solution to make their presence known to readers and editors, go ahead. As for the number of articles, we actually have more articles in this format for Belgium and Denmark than the United States. For some reason, List of years in American television goes no further than 1971. Dimadick (talk) 16:38, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the support and information! It is kind of a shame to see some of these articles get lost in obscurity because of no easy way to learn about them and that they exist, so hopefully this template will make them more readily able to find. Thank you for your quick response!  Johnson 524  (Talk!) 21:27, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Why were my edits on Peter Pan (1953 film) reverted?
I made the descriptions, which were largely unsourced and partially written in an in-universe style, more concise and matter-of-fact. What's wrong with that? Colonel Knight Rider (talk) 05:19, 1 September 2022 (UTC)


 * The plot section is already stripped of any information on the characters. What you did makes the page incomprehensible. Dimadick (talk) 05:22, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

How does making something more concise by taking out of the Cast section a lot of what reads like an expanded description of the plot make it harder to understand? Colonel Knight Rider (talk) 16:41, 1 September 2022 (UTC)


 * "Concision" typically translates to "uninformative". Every time I hear someone making an article more concise, it typically means that that they have gutted the article and excised key information. Single-sentence descriptions hardly inform readers who the characters are, or what is their role in the wider context of the story. Normally we would reserve such details for a list article on the characters, but this film does not have such a list. Dimadick (talk) 17:11, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

I wouldn’t exactly call half the info there “key,” but perhaps we could come to a compromise wherein characters are amply described as you so desire, but does not include what they do in the plot (which I see a lot of). Is that acceptable? Colonel Knight Rider (talk) 17:20, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes. I am less interested in reiterating the plot, and more interested in describing character traits. Dimadick (talk) 17:24, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

However,there has been recent disruptive editing from a user, LouisBStevenson who continues to remove content repeatedly and has ignored warnings/rules on this. Could you possibly assist in this case ? WikiUser4020 (talk) 13:41, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Grandparent taxon categories
Hi, I've had to revert a couple of your recent edits which added grandparent taxon categories to articles about taxa which had their own categories. The last one was Mayfly, which is rightly marked as the owner of, i.e. that is the taxon categorisation sorted. Adding the next category up - Mayflies/Ephemeroptera belong inside the Palaeoptera - is unnecessary and wrong, as the Mayflies category is marked as belonging to that group.

Oh my, lots of U.S. presidential navboxes
Hello, and thank you very much for recently creating many (all?) of the missing U.S. presidential navboxes. A labor of love. I just discovered Van Buren's and Harding's, and moved them out of the navbox cages on their principal pages and added them to a few listed articles. A large job ahead: distribution of the navboxes (I'll do quite a few of them) to their listed pages. Would you please make a list of the presidential navboxes you've created to give an idea of the scope of this distribution? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:24, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't remember them all, I just covered every missing president. The first navbox I created was Template:George H. W. Bush back in 2012. Dimadick (talk) 11:27, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Cool. Every one? Nice work. I meant the recent ones, such as Harding and Van Buren (I'm assuming Bush has been distributed since, guess I've never checked). A team should be assembled. I'll do Harding, McKinley, and Van Buren page distributions and then look for more, but at a minimum may I ask that you check which ones aren't in visible space on their principal pages (Harding and Van Buren's weren't in view on their articles). Randy Kryn (talk) 11:33, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I placed all of the templates with the other hidden templates at the bottom. Dimadick (talk) 11:46, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's how I found Van Buren and moved it to visible space. These should not be hidden away on the principal pages. Anyway, I'll work on McKinley now, that should take some time. This is like the joy of finding a gold mine, but the work that it still needs mining. I don't know if we've ever communicated before but I've seen and run across your work for years, so many thanks again for all you've done. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:52, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * You did everybody. The Andrew Jackson navbox and the rest, nice work, great additions to Wikipedia's presidential navbox collection. I think I've got them all moved into visible space on their namesake article, and have distributed the William McKinley template to its entries (am working on Van Buren). Randy Kryn (talk) 03:42, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅, have distributed the 17 navboxes to their linked articles. Thanks, learned a lot about some of the U.S. presidents in the process. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:18, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

WikiProject categorization of Maricopa County Sheriff's Office controversies
Hi, I noticed that you readded the WikiProject Logic/Philosophy tag to Maricopa County Sheriff's Office controversies. I understand that the article for controversy in general is covered by the Logic task force. However, none of the other pages about specific controversies are tagged as belonging to the logic task force, and I think we can both agree that this article does not relate to logic or philosophy. As a new and passionate member of the Logic WikiProject, I want to keep it as focused as possible on its intended topic, so do you think you could agree to this change?

Education
I read back in 2020, when she first ran for Congress, that she had gotten a GED during the primary, so she hadn't graduated HS by that point. I just checked Snopes, that confirmed that she had gotten one before the November election that year. So she would have been 33 at that point. On the other hand, her honesty has been repeatedly questioned. Back then I'd read that she'd charged her campaign for driving 38,000 miles while running. At the time, the federal reimbursement for mileage was about $.55/mile. So she was living close to the 40th parallel. At that latitude, that would have been the equivalent of driving twice around the world. If memory serves, and I'm not going to claim my memory is all that good, she bought a Cadillac Escalade, which cost $75 grand back then. Could be why she was given to late pay for the cooks and waitpersons. If she wasn't paying employee taxes, that's probably a criminal offense. I also read recently that her landlord refused to renew her lease of the restaurant. Activist (talk) 20:46, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Oops. I hadn't read the article in a couple of years before I'd posted to it this week, and found that the GED and lease were covered in it. I could have saved both of us a minute. I did find she'd won her election last year by less than 600 votes. I thought it was half that, but I may have gotten that notion from early returns. I know the district having traveled there before and after redistricting. Activist (talk) 21:04, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Reversions at "Pan (god)"
I saw the reversion and re-reversion of the infobox in Pan (god), and I'm not sure what your reason for preferring the older version was. There may well be accounts where Pan's not the son of Hermes and Dryope, but that's by far the best-known, and I don't recall any involving Aphrodite being his mother, although I'm not saying there couldn't be such an account. But there are so many minor variations on otherwise well-known Greek myths, that I'm not sure the infobox is the place to include them all. Surely the best-known version, or if there's a second widely-known one, then two, should be enough. The words "many variations" probably can go without saying, since they could apply to almost any detail in any infobox involving Greek mythology; and having them there seems to demand an explanation which is better dealt with in the body of the article. "Silenus" is the usual English form, not "Silenos". So my recommendation would be to leave the edits, instead of reverting them again—to me they look like an improvement, streamlining and regularizing. There's plenty of room in the article to discuss variants. P Aculeius (talk) 04:06, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * There's also nothing on the page about Aphrodite, so that's a bit of a breach of MOS:INFOBOX. Iskandar323 (talk) 06:14, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes the IP's edits are all improvements. Paul August &#9742; 13:22, 28 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I've just undone your latest revert (here), could you please explain yourself. Paul August &#9742; 14:37, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The user keeps changing Silenos (Greek) to Silenus (Latin). Dimadick (talk) 14:42, 30 May 2023 (UTC)


 * We don't see "Silenos" in English, any more than "Dionysos"—most Greek names from classical antiquity are spelled following Latin orthography in English. P Aculeius (talk) 14:48, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes exactly. And there were other good edits that the IP made which you also reverted. Why did you revert those? 14:57, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * For the same reason I revert unsourced changes. Because the version is not supported by any source. Dimadick (talk) 15:16, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that makes sense. Do you mean a source for writing it as "Silenus"? There is no source (or mention) given in the article for Pan being a child of Aphrodite, which you added back. – Michael Aurel (talk) 15:20, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The IP didn't need to add sources, since they didn't add any content. Paul August &#9742; 15:27, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know about Aphrodite, but the article on Dryope mentions no connection to Pan. Dimadick (talk) 15:28, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The IP didn't add Dryope, they just changed the spelling from "Driope" to "Dryope" (while removing the redirect). Also note that Dryope is mentioned (with sources) as one of the names given for Pan's mother. As for Aphrodite the IP removed it, as the mother of Pan, which is appropriate since no source is given for this. Paul August &#9742; 15:46, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, looking at the sources for Dryope being Pan's mother, those cited at Pan's article don't seem to support that parentage (but rather the parentage with Penelope as the mother). Dryope (daughter of Dryops) mentions that Pan is her son by Hermes, but looking at the Homeric Hymn itself, it states that Pan's mother is the daughter of Dryops ("a surging desire had come upon him to unite in love with Dryops’ lovely-tressed girl"), but doesn't seem to name the daughter in question, and Gantz, p. 110 and Hard, p. 215 also state that she isn't named. But while this could go to improving the article, this doesn't justify your reversion, since, as pointed out, the IP didn't add Dryope, and simply removed the redirect there. – Michael Aurel (talk) 16:07, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * "Dryope (daughter of Dryops) mentions" So the article links to the wrong Dryope? Dimadick (talk) 16:21, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The point I was trying to make was that I think the article Dryope (daughter of Dryops) is incorrect (from the quick look I've done here), and so neither page should be linked at Pan. However, as I said, this isn't relevant to your reversion of the IP's edits. – Michael Aurel (talk) 16:29, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Wrong, since I thought that he/she changed the parentage to an unrelated person. I changed the link to Dryope (daughter of Dryops) per your proposal. Dimadick (talk) 16:32, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You thought that "Dryope" was an unrelated person to "Driope"? (both linked to the same page) – Michael Aurel (talk) 16:40, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * This is not the first wrong redirect I have encountered based on similarly-sounding names which have different spellings in the original texts. It was quite possible that Driope was an entirely different character. Dimadick (talk) 16:50, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * So you reverted the IP's edits because maybe Dryope could have potentially been different to Driope in the original texts (with nothing to suggest this, and it spelled "Dryope" in the actual body of the article), without checking those sources yourself? This is ignoring your re-addition of Aphrodite, and your changing of the spelling of Silenus. I won't bother to argue this further, there is no point. I will go to the articles involved and see if I can address the issues I brought up in my comment above, trying to make sure that our presentation of the parentages is in line with the sources we are working from. I did not propose we try and fix the issue by instead just linking to Dryope (daughter of Dryops) instead, but I will go and see if the matter can be resolved by properly sourcing the statements we're making.
 * There would have been nothing wrong with simply admitting you made a mistake, after the matter was raised. – Michael Aurel (talk) 17:24, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't consider it a mistake. We get vandals regularly changing spellings, names, and identifications in all kinds of historical articles. Dimadick (talk) 17:28, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Re premature tagging of works in progress
I seem to have successfully stopped that from happening on mine. I work from a subpage of my user space, and nobody bothers me. When I'm ready, I either do a page move to the article space, or copy and paste it to the new article space. You could name your sub page whatever works for you.

User:Maile66/Marker is an example of the most recent article I did that on. I probably should blank it, because I did create the actual article a day or so ago. That article is now in Main Space, and I can re-use this user space again.

Note "This is a Wikipedia user page." template:Userpage|noindex=yes" I have at the top. I keep that at the top of any subpages of my user space, It really helps. Good luck. — Maile  (talk) 20:54, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Yggdrasil, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. TylerBurden (talk) 18:18, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I already know all that. What is your point? Dimadick (talk) 18:19, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Why are you repeatedly adding irrelevant categories to it, then? Also MOS:OVERLINKS. TylerBurden (talk) 18:19, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Yggdrasil. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. TylerBurden (talk) 18:21, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * The article already links to Fraxinus excelsior, which has an entire section devoted to Yggdrasil. And I doubt it is overlinking to link to terms mentioned in the article. They are not familiar to the average user. Dimadick (talk) 18:23, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * No it does not, you linked to Eurasia and mankind, those are general terms. TylerBurden (talk) 18:24, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay so it linked through a pipe, thanks for explaining that, the links though remain overlinks. TylerBurden (talk) 18:27, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I have not restored the links, so I am not certain why you are insisting on them. Dimadick (talk) 18:31, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Since you now accused me of "disruptive editing", it's on you to explain your edits, if you are adding an entire category based on a piped link, explain it so it is clear. Open a discussion on the talk page and explain, don't edit war. You argued for the links again, so I don't see how me explaining to you that they are general terms is insisting. TylerBurden (talk) 18:32, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Eurasia is a specific geographic term with its own article. Overlinking would be to terms that the average reader is expected to already know. And I still have not restored the link or made any modifications to the text since yesterday. Dimadick (talk) 18:35, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * So what? All blue links have articles, Eurasia is two continents, people tend to be familiar with continents. I am not saying you have added the links again, am I? I am responding to your statements about them here. Either way, try using edit summaries, they help with avoiding misunderstandings like this, and more importantly, don't edit war. Are we done here or are you going to accuse me of something else, or argue that somehow continents and mankind are terms people aren't familiar with? TylerBurden (talk) 18:39, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

History of Arda vs "history of fantasy"
Hi, I've reverted your assignment of this article to the History project, and pace your edit comment "Reverted. Yep and it a large part of the history of fantasy.", because you have conflated the "history of fantasy", i.e. the real-world history of Tolkien's (large) contribution to fantasy over many years through his Middle-earth writings, and the purely fictional history (in-universe) of Arda. This mock-historical backdrop has exactly nothing to do with the "history of fantasy" which, I repeat, exists in the real world, embodied in books, games, and films published in the 20th and 21st centuries, not in the "First Age of Arda" or whatever. I do hope this is clear. If not, I'm happy to discuss here or on the article's talk page. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:15, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I have not conflated anything. Tolkien's works are an example of mythopoeia, a key element in modern fantasy.Dimadick (talk) 16:17, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Careful. All his fantasy works exemplify it, but unlike several other Middle-earth articles, this one is not about mythopoeia and has nothing at all to do with either the real-world process of writing fantasy, nor with real-world time scales. If we were to sweep any article about any aspect of in-universe fantasy into the net of History, we would have to include every
 * Middle-earth article. Very few of them are about either the creative process or the wider history of fantasy, and this article is not one of them. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:48, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Trajan
I've seen you are too restoring deleted information from Trajan's article. The user Venezia Friulano (most likely also 2A02:2E02:D90:1F00:C85:E65:F3CE:392B) already tried to remove info from the body of the article to push this fringe (and wrong) theory that Trajan was of indigenous Iberic lineage rather than Italic; I've shown in the talk page that the biographies on Trajan and sources used for writing the page all say the exact contrary, namely that Trajan's hometown in Spain was an Italic settlement (Italica) and that he came from an Italic family (Ulpi Traiani). We agreed on a formula for the body of the article, but now this user wants to remove this mention of Trajan's origins from the introduction, saying it's not relevant (except it's always been there in some form, it's on page 1 of Bennet's biography, it would be like removing the info that Cleopatra was of a Greek dynasty rather than indigenous Egyptian from her page, and it would be done to subtly promote a wrong theory). This user is doing the same on Hadrian's page. Barjimoa (talk) 04:59, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Categories and Wikiprojects
The articles in Category:Supporters of witch hunting aren't related to the Wikiprojects you added. The main article on witch-hunt has a broader scope than this subcategory, so you can't just copy the projects. For the categories about magic and demons in comics, you misunderstood my comment when I removed the projects. The magic in these comics is not the same as the magic you for example find in biblical miracles or in occult groups. Fiction or not is irrelevant: fiction about for example demons in Islam would fit under the Islam Wikiproject, but not Category:DC Comics demons, because they have nothing to do with Islam. Ffranc (talk) 10:06, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
 * "because they have nothing to do with Islam." How? We have numerous demons from religious sources depicted in comics and other fictional works. Dimadick (talk) 14:58, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
 * DC Comics is not an Islamic company, its fictional universe is not based on Islamic lore, and its fictional demons are not based on an Islamic conception of demons. If someone came up with a theory about how they are part of an invisible Islamic project, that person would be crazy. That's how they're unrelated to Islam, along with the rest of the projects. I'm removing the templates again now, please don't reinsert them. Ffranc (talk) 08:20, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * "that person would be crazy. " You don't sound particularly sane yourself. A company does not need to be Islamic to use Iblis and any other figure from Islamic mythology. Dimadick (talk) 08:25, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The point is that DC Comics doesn't. If you don't bother to read what I write, you don't need to answer either. These strawman arguments are a complete waste of time. Ffranc (talk) 08:36, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * "These strawman arguments are a complete waste of time." Are you describing your own arguments? Several religious and mythological demons have appeared in The Sandman (comic book) and related series by Vertigo Comics. Dimadick (talk) 08:39, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * If any such DC Comics demon has a Wikipedia page, you can add the appropriate wikiproject to that article. The sample I looked at in the category was all pop-culture demons, with no discussion about any particular religion in their articles. Thus, they're outside the scope of those projects, as is the overall subject the category covers. Ffranc (talk) 08:50, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You do not get to define the scope of projects based on any random samples. And again there is no particular distinction between fiction and reality in most project scopes Dimadick (talk) 08:53, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The scopes are defined at the pages of the wikiprojects, and are usually very intuitive: an article that has to do with Islam belongs in the Islam wikiproject, for example. If the fiction is not related to the religion in question, it is outside the scope of the wikiproject, as I've written all along. I have not made any point about fiction/non-fiction, that's one of your strawman arguments. Ffranc (talk) 08:58, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Have you forgotten your own text? "its fictional universe is not based on Islamic lore". Dimadick (talk) 09:01, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you're trying to say. If the fictional universe of DC Comics was based on Islamic lore, I would agree it belongs in WikiProject Islam. The point is that it isn't based on Islamic lore. Ffranc (talk) 09:04, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The universe? No. Certain of its afterlife depictions and their residents, are based on every available lore. Hell (DC Comics) lists Middle Eastern demons and damned, Greek and Roman demons, Aztek demons, etc. Dimadick (talk) 09:11, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, so since it's only about some elements that draw from a variety of religions and mythologies, can I remove the templates now without getting reverted? The current tags at Talk:Hell (DC Comics) - WikiProject Horror and WikiProject Comics - seem appropriate, given the loose inspiration from various sources the article describes. I took a look at Talk:Demon, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you copied the list of wikiprojects from there, which is similar to how you appealed to the wikiprojects at Talk:Witch-hunt when you reverted me at Category talk:Supporters of witch hunting. The main articles are here tagged with various wikiprojects relevant to their broad coverage. You can't just copy that to a subcategory or a tangentially related subject, where the scope and coverage will be different. Ffranc (talk) 09:32, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * "where the scope and coverage will be different." The scope is part of a larger whole, not particularly different. Dimadick (talk) 09:35, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The scope in demon is obviously different from Category:DC Comics demons. It's much broader. Can I remove the templates without any edit warring or not? Ffranc (talk) 09:41, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Ofcourse not. You keep ignoring everything I say. Dimadick (talk) 09:42, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced by what you say, but I have addressed all of it. You have copied wikiprojects from articles with a broad scope to categories with a more narrow scope. Your arguments in favour of this have changed over the discussion, so I don't think you have ignored what I have said either. Your latest argument was that the scopes don't really differ, which is not supported by the texts in any of the articles, which clearly describe different subjects, relevant for different wikiprojects. Hell (DC Comics) mentions an influence from "Abrahamic mythology", but there is no discussion of any particular religion, likely because the connection is just too weak. In the articles in Category:DC Comics demons, the best I've found is Hades (DC Comics), which mentions the influence from Greek mythology and could warrant a tag for that, but that doesn't mean the category should have the same tag. Ffranc (talk) 10:10, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * "and could warrant a tag for that". You are free to add. Categories typicallyu have a wider scope than any specific article.Dimadick (talk) 10:24, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * We're not talking about articles and categories in general but these particular ones. The tags you have taken from other articles - not the main articles of the categories - just don't apply here. That's not going to change because you make vague, generic claims or bring up tangentially related subjects. Ffranc (talk) 11:00, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, if we follow your absurd claims, a WikiProject on Religion would end up with 5 or 10 categories. I noticed that after your frequent removals, Category:Category-Class Neopaganism articles only includes 100 categories, and almost no related subjects. That is disturbing. Dimadick (talk) 14:12, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Whether a subject belongs in a WikiProject is determined by the subject, not the number of articles already tagged by the project. Some projects cover pretty niche subjects. 100 does not sound like a very low number for WikiProject Neopaganism, although there are many more that could be tagged. Looking at the category now, the three categories we've discussed here definitely look out of place. I'll make a new attempt to remove them, and after that I will tag a large number of other categories I know exist, to compensate for the drop in quantity. Ffranc (talk) 08:23, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The number is now more than doubled. Ffranc (talk) 09:16, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Is there a reason why you named Category talk:Films set in Capri, Campania with Campania and not simply Category talk:Films set in Capri? I find this precision confusing, personally. Best, - My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)  17:59, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I did not create this category, but its parent category is Category:Capri, Campania. Dimadick (talk) 03:32, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Your feedback is requested - New consensus on Millennials Talk page
Hi Dimadick,

Thank you for your recent contribution at Millennials. I have taken on board your point of view. I have proposed to improve the Date and age range definitions section of the article to address your concerns, to ensure the section is not unbalanced towards certain viewpoints and to add more information on neglected viewpoints. There is an encouraging sign that a new consensus is forming to support the change as one of the main objectors has noted that concerns have been taken on board and now supports improvement. I would really appreciate if you could add your new opinion to this section of the Talk page to avoid the article being stuck at Status quo stonewalling.

Thank you for your time! Richie wright1980 (talk) 09:44, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

August 2023
Hi Dimadick! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 19:13, 24 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, Dimadick,

 * More than a difference of opinion. He/she simply blanked a category and removed all its contents. Dimadick (talk) 19:17, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I should have started off explaining my reasoning, for which I apologise, but after I started explaining my reasoning you continued to revert with this as the edit summary: "Reverted after deletion". That comes across a bit rude as if you weren't reading my explanation. Lavalizard101 (talk) 19:24, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

accidents and incidents are not disasters
Re: etc

Rather than incorrectly categorising 2023, perhaps you should fix the other years' categories. Please read Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aviation/Aviation_accident_task_force - if you still think accidents and incidents are necessarily disasters, then continue the conversation on that page. If you agree that Accidents and incidents are not necessarily disasters, then please fix the other years' categories, rather than breaking the one that is correct. Mitch Ames (talk) 05:50, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * WikiProjects can not unilateraly change entire category trees, particularly when their scope is barely relevant. The relevant WikiProject is WikiProject Disaster management which has been covering aviation accidents for many years. Category:Aviation accidents and incidents is itself a subcategory of Category:Transport disasters. Dimadick (talk) 05:54, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * — Well that's easily fixed.

Empty categories
Hello, Dimadick,

I seem to have come across a lot of empty or soon-to-be-emptied categories that you created today. Many of Wikipedia's most prolific category creators have asked me to NOT post notifications of CSD C1 taggings on their talk page because they deal with so many different categories that they really aren't invested in what happens with individual ones they created, perhaps, years ago. Would you like to be added to my "No CSD notices" list? It's just a matter of unchecking a box.

Mhy apologies if I have already asked you about this before and forgotten. I hope you are having a good weekend. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 20:43, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

,,Palestinian" history
You can't delete something and defend it by saying it's ,,pro israeli". These are basic facts, proven by archeological researchers and historians. Quit fanboying islamization. AstroSaturn (talk) 15:27, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The facts and the archaeology are covered in the article Timeline of the name Palestine, starting in the 12th century BCE. Dimadick (talk) 15:40, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * As i said, these names have nothing to do with the Islamic movement in israel. Ofcorse they have a desire to be independent, that is basically what islamization is all about. Islamic states inside of sovereign countries. There never was a country with the name ,,Palestine". Again, please stop watching social media propaganda and actually study the whole story. Nothing personal but honestly these pro pali movements are pathetic. AstroSaturn (talk) 16:43, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * "stop watching social media propaganda" Actually read the article and the use of Palestine by Greek sources, long before the Romans. I am not discussing the independence movement. Dimadick (talk) 16:48, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 * If you're talking about Greeks that used the term "Palestine" in 500BCE, i

have bad news for you. Judah was a state within the Persian Empire. Ultimately, this shows that it is just a random name used by some ancient Greeks. How is that a part of the Islamic independence movement?

Israel as a person name
Thank you for this revert, as that nonsense obviously didn’t belong. One interesting fact, though, is that Jacob in the Bible did also have the name Israel, and that’s (according to the Bible) where the name of the land came from. So it was also a person, but obviously that’s not what the Land of Israel article is about. Just fun trivia, and I always love sharing that.

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

edit summaries
Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! DoctorMatt (talk) 18:45, 20 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Can I chime in to ask the same thing? This is a courtesy you can extend to your fellow editors. Please do give this your consideration. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:50, 19 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I'd like to co-sign this recommendation as well. I know they can slow down the process a bit but it's a respectful courtesy to other editors. --Midnightdreary (talk) 14:03, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It is rather concerning that Dimadick has not even bothered to respond to these comments, and has continued to edit without using edit summaries &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:30, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I use edit summaries fairly often when 1) I revert texts, 2) disambiguate terms, 3) find obvious errors in text or categorization. I hardly think they are necessary or have anything to do with courtesy. When I check my watchlist, most of the vandals I encounter use edit summaries like "I fixed typo" or "improved grammar" when they actually delete text or add nonsense. Frequent use of edit summaries is typically what alerts me that something is wrong with the edits. Dimadick (talk) 04:03, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

overcategorization for eponymous categories
The categories themselves are really helpful, but I've noticed some overcategorization in your (relatively) recent eponymous category creations, like Category:Leka, Crown Prince of Albania. It's important to remember that categories should reflect core defining features that are applicable to all pages within (WP:OCEPON). For example, including Category:21st-century Albanian military personnel might be relevant to Leka, Crown Prince of Albania personally, but not necessarily to every page in the category, such as Mausoleum of the Albanian Royal Family. A more focused approach with one or two pertinent categories would be more effective. Mason (talk) 23:52, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I have been editing Wikipedia for twenty years. None of the categories I have created take note of "every page in the category", which I found to be an absurd standard. I move the parent categories from the main article to the category, and consider only the topic of the category, never its content. Dimadick (talk) 07:43, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm not sure how to respond to this, other than to encourage you to revisit your approach as it conflicts with WP:OCEPON. Mason (talk) 13:49, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Eponymous categories
I might not be the right person to say this, because I pretty much disagree with lots of your edits and the only reason I don't contest it more is because categories & wikiproject tagging don't matter enough, but... I strongly disagree with the various eponymous categories you've been creating lately, and even when they're valid, they're being applied wildly loosely. See WP:EPONYMOUS. These are for very, very direct child categories. For example, Category:John McCain includes articles that are obvious spin-offs such as his specific presidential campaigns, but does not include things like Operation Rolling Thunder nor does it include, like, books that happen to mention him (but that aren't about him). Basically, all of these categories are wrong you've added in this diff. Merely being mentioned in a work isn't enough, lest George Washington's category have a zillion articles. It needs to be about that person. Or take Category:Judas Maccabeus: you've indiscriminately added every battle he took place in. But Category:Dwight D. Eisenhower doesn't include every battle he ever commanded. It's also very unclear how much Judas was involved in Roman–Jewish Treaty and some others. These articles are more properly part of other, larger topics.

You're a very active editor; people aren't going to be able to chase down every edit you make. Others have pointed this out to you before (see 's comment above). Some of these categories might be valid, but please don't just tag anything and everything that mentions a subject. SnowFire (talk) 18:55, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * "Category:Dwight D. Eisenhower doesn't include every battle he ever commanded." Then the category is incomplete and needs further work. I disagree with everything else that you said above. The main issue I have with Wikipedia is how uncercategorized everything is, making it harder to locate articles. Dimadick (talk) 18:58, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I fixed the link to Eisenhower's category (I typed it from memory before). And your statement is not correct as to the current community guidelines and a fast path to massive WP:OC.  The WP:MILHIST project in particular doesn't do this - they have multiple FAs and don't categorize as such (look at Category:Battle of Gettysburg - you won't see any "Categorization by commander" there).  If you disagree with this, can I at least convince you that is the standard on Wikipedia?  What would it take for you to believe that your preference is not in fact the Wikipedia standard?  A conversation at WT:MILHIST?  Nominating your categories for CFD?  A trip to ANI?  SnowFire (talk) 19:18, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * There is no such thing as overcategorization. It always reminds me of Don Quixote attacking imaginary giants. WikiProject Military history barely manages to tag its own categories, and I keep finding ommissions. "That is the standard on Wikipedia" Of course not. Such a standard would be for laughs. "Nominating your categories for CFD" Ah, bullies always resort to threats. Dimadick (talk) 19:22, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Believe it or not, that was my attempt at persuasion, not at threats. But this is a community project and your contributions aren't guaranteed to stay if they're not in keeping with guidelines, so CFD is absolutely a possibility.  Rest assured there are lots of areas where my preferences differ with the standards, and I might bend the rules occasionally where they're flexible, but these are rather more than a bend.  Frustratingly, I think some of your new categories might be valid, but if so, they'd be very small ~5 article categories, and I'm not sure CFD is well set-up for handling "this category can exist but should be trimmed down."  Ugh.  I have so much more other stuff I'd rather do than this.  Anyway, I'll try to take a look, and maybe CFD it'll be for some.
 * As a slight olive branch, I don't doubt you when you say there's lots of categorization still to do. I'm sure many of your additions are fine.  That said, that doesn't mean all of them are, and if multiple editors tell you about our overcategorization guideline - which is absolutely a thing even if you disagree with it - you should consider taking the hint.  There are lots of editors who like categories but believe they are more powerful if used only for core defining attributes, which is in fact one of the category rules.  It's not just for every stray mention.  SnowFire (talk) 19:49, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * "used only for core defining attributes" Two decades of disagreements over category deletions have only proved than Wikipedians disagree about what would be "defining". Dimadick (talk) 19:58, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Your massive reverts
Hello,

I realize that sometimes one can be unhappy with another editor's edits. I see that you are currently blankly reverting a number of edits I made on Americas categories. However, may I kindly ask you if we can discuss the topic? A few things worry me, especially since you seem to blankly revert anything without seemingly much looking at the actual edits you make. Examples: In short, I found a problem in the way some categories were organized, mostly the work of long-gone blocked editors such as AquilaXIII. By massively indiscriminately reverting edits of editors who attempt to solve a problem, you are adding the problem back. Place Clichy (talk) 16:53, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You sometimes add a  in North America category in  by continent in addition to  in the Americas, which I find redundant per WP:SUBCAT, and sometimes you don't . May I ask what is your logic and how do you think this category structure should be organized?
 * I took the time to tweak the introduction texts in some categories, but you that anyway without a clear explanation. May I ask why?


 * You practically emptied the category tree for the Americas, damaged the category tree for the Nordic countries, and added non-defining categories in articles which have nothing to do with sub-regions like North or South America. I fail to see any improvement here, just you creating problems where previously there was no problem. Dimadick (talk) 16:58, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * "Practically emptied" is not serious. That said respectfully. Articles and categories I added to North/South America all have content about North or South America. I tried to explain the improvement in my message above, which you do not answer. The situation I attempted to fix was broken, by reverting indiscriminately you are adding problems back. Sure I may make mistakes on the margin like everybody, and I am available to work collaboratively on fixing these mistakes. But but blankly cancelling the work of editors who attempt to fix things, you are part of the problem, not the solution. Also, North America and South America are continents, not "sub-regions".

In others, he merely traveled on the ships somewhere (and in the case of SMS Leipzig (1905), he was merely planning on traveling aboard another ship in the vicinity with Leipzig, but he didn’t even do that). I fail to see how any of that is “essential” to Wilhelm. Parsecboy (talk) 12:51, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Hativkah
O while within a Jewish breast, Beats true a Jewish heart, And Jewish glances turning East, To Zion fondly dart;

O while the tears flow down apace, And fall like bounteous rain, And to the Fathers’ resting-place Sweeps on the mournful train;

And while upon our eager eye Flashes the City’s wall, And for the wasted Sanctuary The tear-drops trembling fall;

O while the Jordan’s pent-up tide Leaps downward rapidly, And while its gleaming waters glide Through Galilee’s blue sea;

And while upon the Highway there Lowers the stricken Gate, And from the Ruins Zion’s prayer Upriseth passionate;

O while the pure floods of her eyes Flow for her People’s plight, And Zion’s Daughter doth arise And weep the long, long night!

O while through vein in ceaseless stream The bright blood pulses yet, And on our Fathers’ tombs doth gleam The dew when sun is set!

Hear, Brothers mine, where e’er ye be, This Truth by Prophet won; “’Tis then our Hope shall cease to be With Israel’s last son!”

O then our Hope—it is not dead, Our ancient Hope and true, Again the sacred soil to tread Where David’s banners flew! 69.113.233.201 (talk) 01:04, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Dimadick, I use and support Wikipedia monetarily a lot but contribute very little content. I have found my latest contribution rejected by you, probably because I added it to the main text of the article by mistake. You correctly advised me to add my comment to the talk page. But was my comment deleted there too? I see that you wrote "Deleted nonsense. Complains about the Bible not being a reliable source". Could you clarify for me please? Do you mean that I claim the Bible is not a reliable source, or do you mean my comment is nonsense? Is it the consensus of Wikipedia that the Bible and the Quran are fiction? Thank you very much for your clarification, and my apologies for using Wikipedia wrong. MinuteSoul (talk) 05:26, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I have not worked much on articles concerning the Quran's historicity, though it should not be taken at face value. But Wikipedia has a Reliable sources concerning which sources we can use. Historians and archaeologists have concluded that much of the Bible is fictitious (including The Exodus and the Nativity of Jesus) and we report their conclusions. Biblical literalism can not be reflected in the articles. Dimadick (talk) 07:13, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Dimadick. I hope you mean "Historians and archaeologists have concluded that much of the Bible is mythical and cannot be proven". To say it is fictitious imputes bad faith to the authors, that they intentionally passed off as true, something they knew to be invented, which is something you couldn't possibly know. MinuteSoul (talk) 10:17, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * You think this is my personal opinion? See the article on The Exodus: "The consensus of modern scholars is that the Pentateuch does not give an accurate account of the origins of the Israelites, who appear instead to have formed as an entity in the central highlands of Canaan in the late second millennium BCE (around the time of the Late Bronze Age collapse) from the indigenous Canaanite culture. Most modern scholars believe that some elements in the story of the Exodus might have some historical basis, but that any such basis has little resemblance to the story told in the Pentateuch."

Re: Characters created by Ken Sugimori
I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding that he didn't create ALL the Pokemon. The source in Ditto's article that's shared with the other is stating that he finalized the designs to give the game a cohesive style and make last minute changes. Several like Raichu and Eevee were made by other developers, while others weren't credited as of yet at all. Out of over 1000 Pokemon, he's only acknowledged as creating 49 of them. Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:30, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I am going by the credits given in the article text. Dimadick (talk) 01:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Unless you're misreading a lot of these I don't think you are...you've reverted it several times on Ditto and Mime for example and neither of them state Sugimori *created* them, just again finalized their designs.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:34, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * "their design finalized by Ken Sugimori" Dimadick (talk) 01:36, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No offense meant but you do understand "Designed by" and "Created by" are two different parameters in the article, right? He finalized Pikachu and Raichu as well, but he's not credited as the creator of either.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:40, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * These articles mention other creators, while Ditto, etc. do not. Dimadick (talk) 01:42, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That's original research then if we're assuming he made them without a source. Out of all the pokemon character articles the ones with sources stating he created them are Gengar, Voltorb, Gyarados, Snorlax, Mewtwo, Unown, Brock and Misty.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:47, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes. That there is no creator attached does not tell us that Sugimori is the creator. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 01:48, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Not quite sure what you mean there: are you ignoring all attention paid by historians, readers of historical fiction and non-fiction, visitors to historic buildings, and pretty much everyone else? A mention is not a "cultural depiction": it does not "depict" the person concerned in any way apart from telling us that they were a British monarch, and who reigned before and after. Pam  D  16:23, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The television versions described in the article include sketches with the kings. And songs are depictions. Dimadick (talk) 16:25, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * But I don't think a share of a 4 1/2 minute children's television show is enough of a depiction to merit a Wikipedia category as a "Cultural depiction". I'll ask for other opinions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Categories. Pam  D  16:45, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Paul I's true paternity.
I removed the information about Sergius Saltykov's alleged parentage of Paul I from the lead section, because it was inconsistent with the information in the rest of the article (Peter III is consistently referred to as Paul's "father" in the rest of the article) it was a deviation from the norm (other monarchs whose paternity was disputed, namely Edward IV, Sweyn Forkbeard, Joanna la Beltraneja and Alfonso XII, do not have such rumours in the lead section) and, most importantly by including it in the lead section, it gave unjustified credence to unsubstantuated rumours.

Crook o' Lune
Seriously, you think Crook o' Lune belongs in the queens categories because of some blatantly peripheral (and definitely folkloric, and quite likely mythical) connection from one tiny aspect of the topic? If those categories are valid, then I know longer know what Wikipedia categorisation is for. Dave.Dunford (talk) 16:44, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * If you think folklore is irrelevant, then apparently you know nothing about Wikipedia categorisation. Dimadick (talk) 17:11, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The problem is not the folklore, it's the ludicrously loose association. She allegedly liked the view, so the article goes into Category:Elizabeth I??? I've got a 500+ page biography of Elizabeth I downstairs. By your bizarre interpretation of categories, everything mentioned in that book that has a Wikipedia article – everyone she met, everywhere she went, everything she ever mentioned (with or without documentary evidence) – should go in Category:Elizabeth I. It's totally absurd. Dave.Dunford (talk) 17:23, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * If by everyone she met, you mean her courtiers, we already have Category:Court of Elizabeth I. And everywhere she went is not remembered 5 centuries later for its connection to her person, unlike the well itself. Your Reductio ad absurdum seems to discard what the sources actually say about a location, in favor of an exclusivity that never works in categorization. Dimadick (talk) 17:29, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * If by everyone she met, you mean her courtiers... If I'd meant that, I'd have said it. If you look at the Category:Elizabeth I category, most of the contents are reasonable; they are clearly relevant and widely associated with Elizabeth I. Whereas Crook o' Lune, and others you've added (e.g. The Woman in the Moon)? You literally have to open the article and search three-quarters of the way through it to work out what the connection is – which turns out to be "a place she might have been to" and "a play she might have seen". I don't have to use reductio ad absurdum, these inclusions are already patently absurd. If your policy was applied consistently then every article that mentions Elizabeth I would be there, and it would be pointless. That's simply not what categories are for. Dave.Dunford (talk) 09:55, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The Woman in the Moon was specifically created as court entertainment, and seems to have had no public performances. "search three-quarters of the way through" That is the problem with leads, which often do not reflect the article's contents or outright contradict it. I have been trying to add more specific subsections to article, rather than 10 paragraphs under the same title. By the way, I still found your reasoning "patently absurd". Your arguments convince me that I have to add more articles to Elizabeth I at some point. Dimadick (talk) 10:01, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Yep, as I figured, replying was pointless, since you determinedly refuse to acknowledge the point. According to my biography, Elizabeth I by Anne Somerset, Elizabeth once visited Croydon (I opened it at a random page – for the record, p. 447). So you'd best add Croydon to Category:Elizabeth I then (/sarc – please don't). Crook o' Lune and Elizabeth I are essentially two unrelated articles. If there was a legitimate connection, Crook o' Lune and The Woman in the Moon would surely be mentioned in the index of an 820-page biography of Elizabeth I. Guess what – they're not. Over and out. Dave.Dunford (talk) 10:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Croydon was not yet developed into a town during her reign. What she visited is probably Croydon Palace. Dimadick (talk) 10:19, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Stop nitpicking and address the actual issue. Dave.Dunford (talk) 13:24, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That is the actual issue. The article already mentions her visits there, as part of her relations with the Archbishop of Canterbury (who owned the palace). I have no reason to add the category, as she never owned it or had a close association to it. Dimadick (talk) 13:28, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The issue is that the connection between Crook o' Lune and Elizabeth I (and the other queens whose categories you added) is tenuous in the extreme, and I contend insufficient to justify the article's inclusion in the categories. I'm not advocating that my hypothetical counter-examples should be categorised in this way, obviously, but Croydon Palace has a better case than Crook o' Lune does. Elizabeth I never "owned ... or had a close association" with Crook o' Lune either – that's exactly my point. Dave.Dunford (talk) 14:02, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The opposite. She is remembered for her connection to Crook o' Lune, but when have her visits to the Archbishops of her era become commemorated in English folklore? And by the way, the Archbishops of Canterbury continued using the palace until the 1780s. Dimadick (talk) 14:06, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * She is remembered for her connection to Crook o' Lune By who? Dave.Dunford (talk) 11:14, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Why are there traditional tales about Elizabeth I and Mary I in Crook o' Lune, but no one cares about her connection to Croydon?Dimadick (talk) 15:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I've opened a section at Talk:Crook o' Lune and requested third-party opinions. Dave.Dunford (talk) 23:19, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

What to do in this case?
I just read your comment here. I noticed that account was definitely not a rookie as well. Unfortunately, there's no way to tie it to another account that I can see, as it's pretty much an SPA for whitewashing the Joe Kent article (see this comment that they made a while back).

Victorian Turkish baths
Hi Dimadick, Thank you for taking an interest in the new Victorian Turkish baths (VTb) page and its categories. I'm not sure whether you have just read the page itself or had time to go through the past year's talk page and the discussion between R Prazeres (talk) and myself, especially about the reasons for separating [Hammam] from VTb, and the current discussion about the proposed change of the Redirect from the no longer used 'Turkish bath' heading. To cut a long story short, there is no connection between the two subjects apart from the fact that they are both public baths derived from the Roman thermae. So while both Hammam and VTb are sub-categories of 'Public baths' and 'Bathing', neither is a sub-category of the other. In particular, VTb is not a sub-category of Hammam and it might confuse all the work of the past couple of years to make it such. I hope you would not mind if I were to delete the category. If, when the remaining sections of the page are finished you still feel Hammam to be relevant here, then I would be happy to discuss its replacement further.

I see that you have also added a Wikilink on the the VTb page itself for Queen Victoria. I would not go to the stake over this, but she was one of about 50+ Wikilinks which were added by an editor shortly after the page went online. This included almost every location mentioned and many other pages referring to individual phrases used on the page. In a most helpful discussion with the editor about this and many other points also (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Mmberney), I wrote 'In general, however, I have removed most of your wikilinks which distract during the reading process, do not usually relate to further knowledge about the subject of the article, and, I believe, should not aim to be a general index to the encyclopaedia nor a national gazeteer. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Overlink_crisis

However, your link does point to something important that was missing and I am adding Victoria's regnal dates in parentheses after her name, and hope that this will meet with your approval as a substitute for linking to a long irrelevant article. 2A00:23C6:E381:7701:F912:F07E:8A8B:91BE (talk) 15:04, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I have never heard of an overlink crisis. The article as it stands has walls of text, and is severely underlinked. The article that should linked is probably Victorian era. Dimadick (talk) 15:07, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I messed up and forgot to sign in.
 * Well I thought that the overlink article I linked to was interesting. Most encyclopaedias are mainly textual, and Wikipedia is the only encyclopaedia I know of which has an article on the subject. I think that relevant images are a better way of breaking the text than coloured, often flashing links, which distract. I don't believe that someone who has not heard of Manchester, for example, would not be able to find it on Wikipedia without a link. Instead, I have used over 80 relevant images which have never been on Wikipedia before, and if it wasn't for copyright restrictions there would be more.
 * However, I agree that Victorian era makes more sense and have changed it, and I will look again, in due couse, to see if I can add some more relevant links. There are, of course links to all the places which still have an operating VTb and, hopefully, these will be continuously updated by those who use them.
 * Thanks for your views; they are very helpful for a newbie like myself.Ishpoloni (talk) 15:33, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Edit comments
Hi, I noticed that you recently made an edit at The Etymologies (Tolkien) without leaving an edit comment explaining what you were doing.

It would be appreciated by other editors (I suspect on many different WikiProjects) if you could remember to provide at least a brief edit comment.

This can be as simple as "add cat" if you don't want to type much; of course you can reuse such a phrase many times by pasting or using an editing tool to insert such a text field for you.

Many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:18, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

OCEPON
As I and others have asked already User_talk:Dimadick, please stop copying every single category to the eponymous category. Please (re)view: WP:OCEPON. For example, Category:Gilbert_du_Motier,_Marquis_de_Lafayette does not need every category from the page. It's counterproductive. Mason (talk) 01:27, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It says "An eponymous category should have only the categories of its article that are relevant to the category's content." Which confirms that the category must have practically every parent category that applies to the main article. I don't see how that supports your argument. Dimadick (talk) 09:11, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * To all the category's content. Look at the example: The article New York City is in Category:Populated places established in 1624, but this category is not necessarily relevant to the content of Category:New York City, so it should not be used on the eponymous category. Mason (talk) 13:58, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That interpretation is not part of the text, and seems highly imaginitive to me. There is no ploblem with over-categorization, while Wikipedia has a chronic problem with uncer-categorization. Dimadick (talk) 14:00, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * What interpretation are you talking about? It literally says that "The article New York City is in Category:Populated places established in 1624, but this category is not necessarily relevant to the content of Category:New York City, so it should not be used on the eponymous category." which means that your interpretation that it should all be categorized is inconsistent. Do you really think that birth years should be added to categories?Mason (talk) 20:38, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The example used is not a birth/death year category (which I personally find irrelevant to eponymous categories). It is part of the populated places by time category tree. It does not matter at all what Category:New York City contains, there is no reason to spotlight any particular place in a timeline of populated places. Dimadick (talk) 23:17, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It's true that the example isn't exactly a birth/death category, but the principle is the same and pretty similar as both mark the beginning of something. Regardless, it demonstrates that not every category for the page should be applied to the category. At the very least, can you please ask yourself whether the category you're adding to the is relevant to all the contents of that category? Because categories are not the same as pages.

 * That falls squarely under, as stated in WP:OTHERSCOMMENTS. 50.221.225.231 (talk) 06:16, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * No, it does not. It directly comments on the narrative of the Gospels, which depict Jesus treated as insane by the people he meets. His behavior was not rational. Dimadick (talk) 06:18, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you really struggle to understand the meaning of ? Or are you merely pretending to be obtuse? 50.221.225.231 (talk) 06:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I'd be curious to hear your source for that. With quotes. 50.221.225.231 (talk) 06:22, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * This is clearly the topic of the article: that Jesus was not sane by any standard, and that theologians can not change what is evident in the primary sources. Quit your disruptive behavior, and stop vandalizing the article. Dimadick (talk) 06:24, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * How many times do I have to explain this to you? Read WP:TALK: If you continue your disruptive editing, you will be blocked. 50.221.225.231 (talk) 06:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Still waiting on that source, by the way. With quotes. 50.221.225.231 (talk) 06:29, 6 June 2024 (UTC)'
 * The source is already in the article and the Gospels: "There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. Many of them said, "He has a demon, and he is mad; why listen to him?"" Try reading instead of vandalizing. Dimadick (talk) 06:32, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Don't accuse me of what you are doing.
 * What does the verse immediately after the one you just quoted say?
 * Also, you still haven't proven your claim that . 50.221.225.231 (talk) 06:38, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * You have got to be kidding me. Try the article on Mark 3: "According to Mark, this prevented Jesus and his disciples from being able to eat. "When his family (hoi par' autou) heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, 'He is out of his mind'.", or "beside himself", exestē (Strong's G1839), which could be read as Jesus' family accusing him of being crazy or describing what others had said about Jesus. Either way they go to assert their control over him, perhaps to stop him from embarrassing the family. " Dimadick (talk) 06:45, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Answer the question I asked. What does the verse immediately after the one you previously quoted say? 50.221.225.231 (talk) 06:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * See the entire text here. I don't see how does any verse contradict how Jesus' family treated him. Dimadick (talk) 06:56, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I want you to quote the verse immediately after the one you previously quoted (John 10:20). 50.221.225.231 (talk)
 * I quoted Mark 3, not John 10. Dimadick (talk) 07:01, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Don't play coy. I said "previously quoted". You previously quoted John 10:20. Quote the verse immediately after that. 50.221.225.231 (talk) 07:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * You mean verse 21: "These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?" It quotes anonymous "others", not Jesus' family. Dimadick (talk) 07:13, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Also true of John 10:20, which you quoted. So why did you quote it? 50.221.225.231 (talk) 07:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * As an indication of how the topic of Jesus'sanity was treated by the primary sources. I was not arguing that Jesus was a demon. Dimadick (talk) 07:23, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Then the same applies to the subsequent verse. 50.221.225.231 (talk) 07:34, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Look at the concordance results for exestē (ἐξέστη) here and here. What do you notice? "Amazed". "Astonished". "Astounded". Jesus ἐξέστη. Read The Meaning of Ἐξέστη in Mark 3:21. 50.221.225.231 (talk) 07:37, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Pot calling the kettle black. You are clearly vandalizing the article and its talk page, adding bon-reliable theological sources. Dimadick (talk) 06:31, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Why do you keep treating Iosif Kryvelev as a reliable source? He was a philosopher and historian of religion, not a psychiatrist. Dimadick (talk) 06:48, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Overcategorization and lack of familiarity with the subject matter
A deity being mentioned in a god list found in a specific city does not indicate an intimate connection with said city and might not even indicate they were necessarily worshiped there. Please refrain from further random inappropriate additions like placing Gazbaba in the Isin category, thanks in advance. HaniwaEnthusiast (talk) 07:46, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * This user has a radically inclusive attitude to categorisation but doesn't seem to accept that their application of categories is well outside the norms of Wikipedia. Dave.Dunford (talk) 08:28, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Child abuse, abortion and Zionism
Are you a zionist?

why do you downplay child abuse through your edits?

Why do you promote abortion so much?

Are you related financially or work in a non profit organization that promotes abortion or downplay child abuse victims such as law firms that defend abusers?

Thank you. Lazzldkdm (talk) 14:01, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I believe that abortion is necessary to the well-being of a society, but I am not affiliated with any organization. Since when do I defend child abuse? Last I checked, I have never defended Zionism as an ideology, since I consider it to be a racist excuse to exploit the Palestinians. Dimadick (talk) 16:31, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Category importance
Please don't add blank importance to categories, since it is unnecessary. See also User talk:Kanashimi. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 20:18, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I typically copy the templates which I use in categories, while emptying the importance field. Does it fill some category which I am not aware of? Dimadick (talk) 07:20, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * No, but it is unnecessary. After all, we don't not-do-things because they don't add tracking cats, and we don't place every available blank parameter for every template, and we have "Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window." advice on various templates. There are exceptions, like an empty class in WPBS on a mainspace article, of course, since it's intended to be filled, but categories don't require importance, so it will never be filled.
 * I was under the impression that this would be something easy to adjust in your workflow, so if it's a big bother to remove it, then don't worry about it.  ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  12:38, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Elizabeth Swann
Hello. I notice you recently reverted some of my edits on Elizabeth Swann. Would you be up for having a friendly chat about the page? Wafflewombat (talk) 23:10, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Your explanation is that you are removing interpretation (as opposed to fact). Our job in an encyclopedia is to cover sourced interpretations. Dimadick (talk) 03:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree. My concern was with unsourced interpretations, such as the bolded portion of this passage:
 * "Early on in the first movie she often fantasizes about pirates and life at sea. This may have been fueled somewhat by her association with another character, Will Turner..." Wafflewombat (talk) 03:22, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
